This post from the Canadian space agency appeared on my Facebook feed. It's very corny and I certainly didn't write it.

Did you know that Brian May is not just Queen’s guitarist, but he's also a rockstar in astronomy? 🎸🌟
Move over "Bohemian Rhapsody," because it’s time for "Bennu Rhapsody!" 🎶
Armed with his Ph.D. in astronomy and a passion for stereoscopic imaging, he created 3D images of asteroid Bennu, which contributed to the OSIRIS-REx mission!
Next time you listen to "We Will Rock You," remember that Brian May isn't just rocking the stage, he's also rocking the depths of space, one asteroid at a time! 🤘

Cheers Joe.

Those 3D things are really interesting.

I've got Dr Brian's book of 3D Moon images. They really come to life!
